And I'm still in the hospital without a set discharge date. The surgery itself went very well. I went under around 10:20am. Dr. M went first, he removed the tumor and part of my pancreas. Once the tumor was removed, Dr. M went on to attach the back portion of my pancreas to my small intestine. After Dr. M completed my pancreas, he and Dr. B worked together to remove the endometriosis from under my diaphragm. Apparently, I had one large endometrial adhesion, along with several small adhesions. They removed all of the adhesions from my diaphragm. Finally, Dr. B removed the endo adhesions from my abdomen, he showed the pictures from my surgery to my husband. My husband said that my abdomen was covered in adhesions and scar tissue. Fertility wise, this will make it easier for any fertilized, healthy eggs to make it to my uterus. Lastly, Dr. B removed the septum in my uterus. It turns out that what they thought was a fibroid in my uterus is actually an adenomyoma, so I will be having a hysterectomy when we are done having kiddos. I woke up from my surgery about 6pm that night and was admitted to hospital room by 7pm.
I am feeling slightly better everyday, but am still on a clear liquids diet. They tried solids yesterday for lunch, But I threw up lunch, so it was back to nothing by mouth until lunch today. Lunch today consisted of apple juice and a Popsicle. Dinner will probably be chicken broth and jello. I know you are jealous of my diet ;)
